For 2013, IAMGOLD reiterates production of 875-950koz gold, but cash costs of US$850-925/oz are higher than forecast of US$730/oz. The company ascribed the higher costs to one-third inflation and one-third lower grades (especially Essakane), while production mix (high cost Sadiola and Yatela) and harder ore (Essakene and Rosebel) also contributed."Iamgold Corporation closed at $10.87 on Tuesday.
